It shines a spotlight on the fact that Newsome has suddenly pivoted on this transgender issue. (basically as a precursor to running for president) And people should know that this shithead has no actual integrity and will do or say whatever it takes to get the conservatives to like him more for the general election (he's pretty confident that Dems will choose him regardless of his policies apparently.) So, if he's altering his policy on transgender youth, it almost certainly means that he's gonna attempt the Democrats continually failing strategy of appealing to conservatives.
Before this "outrage piece" I had no idea that Newsom had come out against trans athletes. So it definitely serves a purpose other than click bait.
It's criticism of a centrist. No centrist wants people to be allowed to read it.
If he was saying that newsom was right to throw trans people under the bus where you think they belong, you wouldn't be griping.
You, among others.
And yet you're still griping because Ken Jennings of all people isn't anti-trans enough for you.
Well, look. You're clearly griping about this post existing at all. It has to have something you don't want anyone else to read, or you would just downvote and move on. Instead, you decided to whine about it.
You're expending a lot of energy for something you allegedly don't care about, and it's clear that you just don't want others to care about it. And since the thing you totally don't care about is Jennings saying that he doesn't like newsom because newsom decided that trans people belong under the bus, what other conclusion should I draw?
Please, stalk my comment history some more if it makes you feel superior to those who don't hate trans people enough for your liking.
Gaslighting is abuse and you should stop.
Dude, you just spent a huge post saying I'm mentally ill because I disagree with your anti-trans whining about Ken Jennings. No matter how you slice it, that's gaslighting.
Everyone can scroll up and see the comment in which you repeatedly called me mentally ill. You're doubling down on the gaslighting.
And after two bouts of gaslighting, we have progressed to DARVO. I haven't said that your disagreement with me is due to mental illness, because I don't believe it is. I believe your motives aren't the ones you've stated, as your behavior is inconsistent with the motives you've stated. Making a big hairy deal about not caring isn't something that someone who actually doesn't care does.You're still expending a lot of energy in a thread about an interview with a minor celebrity that you don't care about.
If you want me to directly interact with your arguments, you should have made one in the first place.
Meanwhile, at least one person who didn't know before has found out that newsom is willing to throw trans people under the bus in order to appear accommodating to a right-wing bigot that newsom invited on his own podcast. That's a win in my book. The more people know what a piece of shit newsom is willing to be, the fewer will support him and maybe we'll get a candidate worth supporting instead.
If you don't care, why are you still bothering with this thread? Why didn't you just downvote and move on instead of whining about it? Your behavior is at odds with your claims, and more consistent with someone who doesn't like people criticizing newsom.
At least one person in this thread found out from the article that newsom threw trans people under the bus. It was news to them.
I won't apologize that a minor celebrity showing solidarity with a vulnerable minority upsets you.
I don't like it when people whine about the presence of solidarity instead of its absence.
Until some other minor celebrity maliciously likes trans people at you.
What does Ja Rule think???
Are you saying his opinion doesn't matter because he's a game show host? What do you know about his qualifications? Have you ever looked him up?
You're invalidating his opinion by creating false criteria (being "news") then failing it arbitrarily. You're not offering definitions or reasoning, so I'm asking some leading questions to give you a chance to redeem yourself.
But instead of answering, you backpedaled. So now you are dismissed.
Hitchens's razor: What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Bye bye :)
He's saying his opinion doesn't matter because he doesn't want anyone to read it.
